If you're in the mood for pondering such things, you might wish to inspect a photo of the other side and check out the location in Street View.

This megachurch is led by the Rev. Floyd Flake, a former congressman. According to its website, Allen A.M.E. has more than 23,000 members and an annual budget, shared with its subsidiaries, of over $34 million. The Hartford Institute for Religion Research ranks Allen as the fourth-largest megachurch in New York State in terms of average attendance. (Topping the list is East New York's Christian Cultural Center.)

what this game is.

This is the third repurposed building I've seen with an old Studebaker logo on it. You can see the other two here and here.

(I've also come across a few Studebakers.)

UPDATE: Thanks to Gary Fonville for pointing out to me another former Studebaker building with a surviving logo on Howard Avenue between Eastern Parkway and Lincoln Place in Brooklyn. As it turns out, I once posted a photo of this building, but I didn't notice the old logo around the corner. Gary also mentioned a former Studebaker service station in Brooklyn on Dean Street between Franklin and Classon Avenues. When I walked by in 2012, the old service station looked like this. But it has since been "transformed into a creative and entrepreneurial hub".

Much of the former Merrick Theater is now occupied by a Blink Fitness gym. But unlike the Harbor Fitness in Marine Park's old Nostrand Theatre or the New York Sports Club in the old Bay Ridge Theatre, this gym appears to have covered up all traces of the theater's interior.

NYCamo makes another appearance.

Built in 1895-96, the Dutch Revival-style PS 47, with its "witch's hat" dormers, was designed by the excellently named William B. Tubby. In 1909, the younger students were relocated and the building became the original Jamaica High School. In the decades since Jamaica High moved into its present home in 1927, the former PS 47 has served as a number of different schools; it is currently the Jamaica Learning Center.

(Note the undulating raised subway grates on the sidewalk.)

The former Suffolk Title and Guarantee Company Building

Constructed in 1897-98, the long-vacant Jamaica Savings Bank building "is a fine and particularly exuberant example of the classically inspired Beaux-Arts style strikingly executed in carved limestone and wrought iron, and is one of only a few buildings in the borough of Queens to embrace that architectural aesthetic. Prominently sited on Jamaica Avenue, the bank building is an urbane presence on the neighborhood’s main commercial thoroughfare. Although the four-story structure is relatively small in scale, the imposing design of the facade conveys a monumentality which is appropriately suited to the distinguished image and reputation of the banking institution, while lending the building the formal elegance of a private club or townhouse."

UPDATE (Oct. 2016): The old bank and its two neighbors to the right are being turned into a three-building retail complex. The 10-story tower that stood immediately to the right (visible above) has been knocked down and is being replaced by a structure similar in height to the bank building. Here's a rendering of the proposed development.

I've never seen this style of tushie tamer before. The last time I passed by this technicolor wall, the green Siamese sprinkler connection was completely unprotected — defenseless against the weary derrières of pooped-out passersby.
